How come we have "ship", "sector", and "combat"? Where would a station or complex belong into? It is not a ship, and closeup of one is not really scenery either. Or would it be combat, Don Quijote facing ferocious Free Argon Trading Centre? IMO, stations are underrepresented in SOTW. Just a thought.

Just for completeness some 'ordinary' sector shots:

Alway have liked Brennan's Triumph (top), reminds me of Z'ha'dum somehow.
OK, OK, I'll choose one of each category:
ship

Good choice. I reckon we shall stare at you and the last one still standing wins.
Anyway, is this ship enough?

(I know, some consider that model ugliest in the game, but this one at least has paintjob, and "artistic" does not always imply "pretty", right?)

I am going to let everyone vote. I'll open the "poll" when the deadline ends.The_Abyss wrote: Did you resolve how to choose a winner?
The rules will be what I've posted before...
I am thinking there'll be a simple scale, so that every screenshot gets a score. Highest number wins. Since the rule will be that you have to vote for all, or none, the mathematically, the winner can be determined by both average and sum - the result will be the same.
The grand prize is - Abyss will be taking the winner to lunch.
